Nothing on record as of August 14, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over H5 Data Centers Omaha (La Vista) in La Vista, Sarpy County, Nebraska appears in the sources this registry tracks.

Notes on the record

234,500 sq ft colocation facility on 32 acres at 10917 Harry Watanabe Parkway in La Vista, Sarpy County, with 17.3 MW of N+1 critical capacity, Tier III design, N+1 chillers and N+1 cooling towers, up to 7 on-net carriers and cloud on-ramps to AWS and Azure. All structured figures come from H5's own facility page fetched this session. The site is widely described in directories as the former Yahoo La Vista data center, H5 is the CURRENT operator and Yahoo the original builder; H5's page does not state the build history, so the Yahoo provenance is left in this note rather than asserted, and should be confirmed against a county assessor record or contemporaneous press before publishing. Coordinates are a street-address approximation, not a parcel geocode. aiClassification is mixed_use: general-purpose multi-tenant colocation, not a confirmed AI training site.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • How the community has received it
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised

How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
